*GENERAL NEWS*

DONATIONS THIS WEEK:  Thank you to Joy Olson and Elaine Davis for monetary
gifts.

HELP!  It’s a good idea to call to confirm live music events specially if
you are driving a long distance, as schedules can change at the last
minute.  Please let me know of any outdated or new information.  As more and
more dance events occur, it is hard for me to keep up, even though I spend
two days a week on this. Show venue owners this newsletter and ask them to
e-mail me their concise ads as used below and cancellations by each Tue.
Thank you so much. Honorable mention goes to Laurel Behning of On Your
Toes/Retro who knows how to do this.
